The Packabeats - Theme From `The Traitors`

1962 B-side of single Evening In Paris
The song was produced by legendary Sixties producer Joe Meek. All the images ( unless i`ve slipped up ! ) are Joe Meek produced records.
The song is Theme From `The Traitors` although this is a non-existent programme/ film.
The song is finally being used as a theme song - to the film `Telstar` which is a bio-pic of Joe Meek . The film is due for 2009 release.

In the movie The Traitors, the theme is played as a march instead of a rock and roll piece.

StatesEdgeFilms has the first 8 minutes of The Traitors on his channel. The theme is in the first two minutes.

Finally got to see the original film, "The Traitors". The soundtrack is by Johnny Douglas and contains a few variations of the theme that are very nice indeed.

@jenks1937 - it was. It totally captured the feel and imagery of that era. Did you see the film, Telstar? It was fantastic. To see the start of Chas Hodges career as a session bassist was amazing - before his piano switch and Chas 'n' Dave years.

Great opener to a great film. Telstar

Super video - thanks!!! I loved "Telstar". It's criminal that it got such limited distribution. I suspect it will have a long life on dvd though. The best British film for many years

Played on the opening credits of the currently released film 'Telstar',about the life of Joe Meek.

This is COOL, even though I hate to use that word. The sound of the electric piano, and the way it is introduced with a less-than-perfect edit - just pure Meek!

I saw the Packabeats live at Potters Bar a few years back, they were fantastic. Gypsy Beat is great !!!
